One hot day in 2009 my blood sugar topped at 600 I collapsed on the sidewalk and woke up two days later in a hospital bed

Or, maybe driving from NJ to Virginia with the aunt who consistently drives 10 miles under the speed limit and prefers not to listen to music in the car, but instead likes Catholic talk radio. That might be closer to Hell, actually.

The hospital took the liberty of inserting a catheter into my peepee. It wasn't fun waking up to that I can tell you

KenfHP: - like giving birth to a rock thru the tube from kidney to bladder. Worst part maybe - having no idea what it was - being sure it was it was a kidney infection & if it felt like that I was sure to die.

Doesn't even come close to falling on the ice back in jan 2011 and breaking my ankle

In a cast for 3 months

...if someone had simply said - you'll pee it out before too long, & when the tube kidney to bladder squeezes on it it will hurt like nothing else & you will be crazy nauseous - & when not you will feel fine - that would have made all the difference...not real impressed w/ hospitals & professionals so far...
...People fall on ice & people laugh - wtf - ?!?!

You cannot imagine how it was getting around with a broken ankle in a cast for 3 months. Worrying it wasn't going to heal because of diabetes

The miracle was I didn't turn into a drug addict on the codeine with all I took

this is the last week of the October fundraiser. if you haven't yet pledged, please do so and help me make my goal. WFMU needs your support and we are way off our goal. if you enjoy our programming please show it! thank you

I'd had a Vicodin script for three years and was fine.

- folks, my plan has been to move up $15/month for FMU, but I turned out poorer than I thot this week. I'm gonna do that whether the fundraiser is over or not, & no matter how annoyed by the shaming process I get ( - or not). 'til then - I'm Heartless for Halloween...

Everyone is different. Vicodin I have little issue with, while percocet makes me very nauseated. There are slow release versions of most of these pills, so it isn't always the case that it doesn't last long.

I have a very high tolerance for opiates, too. Mostly because I'm in significant chronic pain. I take opiates and perk up. I tend to use pain killers so that I can have a clean kitchen, or maybe do some exercises, or maybe be social out in the world with people.

Man, my roommate came home wasted, ranted for a while, passed out in his bedroom, then woke up suddenly and crashed his way back to the bathroom, covered it with urine, and then passed out on the couch. Two hours later,I'm hiding in my bedroom, wondering what his sudden stompy walking all over the apartment is about.
